Introduction
The philosophy of mind (Philosophy of Mind) is an emerging, incredibly active and fruitful field of contemporary anthropological reflection that arose in the analytical sphere, but is heir to the entire Western tradition that originated in Greece from the reflections on the constitution of the human being carried out by Plato and Aristotle, but also by Democritus. The “common thread” of the relationship between soul and body, later interpreted in modern times as the mind-body relationship, and which today, in light of research in neuroscience, psychiatry, and clinical psychology, is articulated as the mind-brain relationship, is at the heart of the debate in philosophy of mind. This course provides students with an introduction to contemporary mind-body problems and the main theories that have emerged throughout history to resolve the problem of human constitution.
